California Shooting: 6-Month-Old Baby Among 6 Killed in Tragedy

Tragedy has struck the Central California city of Visalia as a gunman shot and killed six people at a residence in unincorporated Goshen. Six people, including a 17-year-old teen mother and her 6-month-old baby, were killed in the California shooting.

Deputies from the Tulare County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) responded to the shooting at 3:30 a.m. on Monday after multiple shots were reported. According to the Associated Press, two of the victims were found in the street, while a third was found fatally shot in the doorway of the residence.

Sheriff Mike Boudreaux revealed that the other three fatalities were found inside the house, with one of them, a man, still alive when police arrived at the house. He later died at a hospital.

Tulare County Sheriff's Office Looking For 2 California Shooting Suspects

The Tulare County Sheriff's Office believes this was not a random act of violence and that the family the house belongs to was targeted. They also believe the killings were gang-related, as they conducted a narcotics-related search warrant at the residence last week.

Sheriff Boudreaux then told the media at a press conference that they are now looking for two suspects in the fatal California shooting incident, according to PBS News.

"We also believe this was not a random act of violence. We believe this was a targeted family," the sheriff stated during the press conference.

The Sheriff's Office revealed via Facebook that the house was located in the 6800 Block of Harvest Road in Goshen. This is still an active investigation, and the TCSO is now asking anybody with information regarding this case to contact them and share whatever information they have. Whoever does so will remain anonymous.

Family of Teen Mother and Baby Killed in California Shooting Is in Shock

Sheriff Mike Boudreaux also told reporters that the young teenage mother and her baby were both shot in the head. This has sent shockwaves not only to Goshen but also to the entire family.

Samuel Pina, the grandfather of the teen mother, identified as Alissa Parraz, stated, "I can't wrap my head around what kind of monster would do this."

Parraz's child was identified as Nycholas Nolan Parraz.

The grandfather stated that Parraz and her baby were living with her father's side of the family in Goshen. He revealed that the California shooting incident also killed the teen mom's uncle, her dad's cousin, and her grandmother. Her great-grandmother was also killed.

He admitted that the family is now in shock and that "It comes in big waves."

Last September, a school shooting happened near Oakland, leaving six people hospitalized. Like this incident, authorities also believed it was gang-related.

Goshen, which is located just 35 miles from Fresno, is a semi-rural community with around 3,000 residents. It is known to be an agricultural area found in the San Joaquin Valley.
